Balance Core Build: Tyranitar to Golisopod

I actually did some theorycrafting and I have the tentative roster of
Tyranitar
Incineroar
Milotic
Sinistcha
Salamence
Golisopod

I just put salamence cuz my team was really weak to ground and I think it works pretty well with the rest of bulk in this team. Against specific ice, fairy, rain cores that salamence struggles against, I could go for golisopod instead which has good priority damage and access to wide guard even in vanilla form let alone when it megas it can win games . Would love to get other people opinions on these teams. I've tried to create just a generic disruption core with enough that could take on anyteam so if anybody wants to stress test it that would be great.

Mega-Froslass Team Feedback & Counters

https://pokepast.es/be06335512eee212

I made a team based on Mega-Froslass, using Pokemon available to Champions and tried to cover for expected threats notably:

  • Mega-Gengar
  • Mega-Guardevoir Psyspam
  • Mega-Froslass
  • Mega-Charizard-Y
  • Mega-Metagross
  • Mega-Kangaskhan (hopefully)
  • Dondozo Tatsugiri (hopefully)

I am not entirely sure About the last 2 Moves of Whimsicott. I would like taunt (especially to stop trick room) and helping hand (to boost the spread moves of froslass, arcanine or primarina if needed), but i am unsure if i shouldn't got for encore over one of those above, to punish status and setup.

Also I can't hit water really hard and I am unsure if neutral dmg is strong enough against strong water types like Dondozo

I know we don't know how the meta could look like and I cannot think about every situation, but any Ideas on what else to cover and how?
